Frequently Asked Questions

Dumpster rental pricing typically ranges from about $350 to $750 depending on the dumpster size, the type of material, the delivery location and the rental length, with no hidden fees. You get a flat rate up front that includes delivery, pickup, disposal, the standard rental period and the included weight — about 1 to 2 tons on a 10 yard, 2 to 3 on a 15, 3 to 4 on a 20, 4 to 5 on a 30 and 5 to 6 on a 40. Going over can cost extra. The cost guide breaks it down.

Yes. Our flat-rate pricing includes delivery, pickup, disposal up to the included weight and the standard rental period. No hidden fees and no surprise charges.

Two things: going over the included weight, when an additional fee may apply based on weight, and keeping the container past the rental period, at an additional fee. Loading above the top edge can also add charges. We explain all pricing and weight guidelines up front so there is nothing to find later.

Heavy material such as concrete, dirt or brick uses up the included weight fast, and it is typically limited to 10 or 15 yard containers because of weight restrictions. So we size heavy loads differently and tell you where the weight line is before you load.

Major credit and debit cards. Payment is processed at the time of booking to secure your delivery date. Where an independent provider handles the rental, billing may be handled by that provider, and we tell you on the call.

On private property such as your own driveway we found no Lakewood permit rule for a roll-off — the City's permit is for the public right-of-way. Keep it on an improved all-weather surface, not the grass: Lakewood wants commercial-type dumpsters on private property, on gravel, asphalt or concrete paving, clear of vehicle and pedestrian travel and the sight triangle (§8.14.025(D)), and does not allow them on landscaping or grass (§9.80.020(B)(5)). A street is different. Lakewood says a no-charge public way permit must be obtained before a temporary roll-off is placed in the right-of-way, and it may not stay more than 30 days unless due cause for an extension is shown (§8.14.028). Apply through the City's eTRAKiT system; the Public Works Permit Counter is at 303-987-7500. The permit guide and your town page cover the details.

In Lakewood, with the no-charge Public Way permit — and the City's permit sheet says street placement is only allowed if there is no suitable location on the private property, so the driveway or another spot on the lot comes first. On state highways such as West Colfax (US-40), Sheridan Boulevard (SH-95), Wadsworth Boulevard (SH-121) and US-6, work in the right-of-way needs a state and a City permit (§12.04.040(A)), and we found no CDOT permit path for a temporary container, so the container stays on the property. Elsewhere: Denver issues its street permit only to the container company, at $125 for the first five days of a one-time residential placement and $4.50 a day after; unincorporated Jefferson County charges $50, in the parking lane and never on arterials; Edgewater issues a police permit for ten days and never allows dumpsters in alleys (§11-1-40); Wheat Ridge requires a Class D licence to occupy the public way with storage containers or trash receptacles (§21-21); and Golden wants NO PARK signs posted 24 hours ahead. Tell us when you book and we plan the placement around it.

Not always obvious. West Colfax (US-40), a block from our yard, Sheridan Boulevard (SH-95), Wadsworth Boulevard (SH-121) and US-6 are state highways; Kendall Street itself is not. State highways need CDOT as well as the City; other Lakewood streets fall under the Lakewood Municipal Code. If you are not sure, tell us the address and we will check which rules apply.

Because most cities here license the companies that haul waste. Lakewood requires a Waste Hauler License (Ch. 5.29, rewritten by Ordinance O-2026-30 on August 24, 2026), and its new definition of solid waste includes construction and demolition debris and bulky items. Denver (DRMC 48-62), Englewood (EMC 5-26), Sheridan (§22-217), Westminster (§5-7-2), Edgewater (§6-8-20), Arvada (§90-51) and Golden (§4.80.015) have their own. We found no exclusive roll-off franchise anywhere we serve, and no hauler licence in unincorporated Jefferson County. Each town page states its rule.

It can. Covenants can cover containers on your driveway, and we do not know your HOA's rules — check them before you book.

We take care during placement to minimize any risk. For additional protection, you can place boards or plywood under the dumpster. Tell us before delivery if a surface needs more than that — and keep it off soft ground and grass.

A flat, stable surface such as a driveway or paved area; room for the container — about 14 feet long for a 10 yard, 16 feet for a 15, and about 22 feet for a 20 and up, all about 7.5 feet wide; about 60 feet of space for truck access; and at least 25 feet of overhead clearance. Power lines, tree branches, parked cars, bins and equipment are the usual problems.

Lakewood, Edgewater, Wheat Ridge, Applewood and west Denver; Golden, Morrison, Arvada and Westminster; and Sheridan, Englewood, Bow Mar, Littleton, Columbine and Ken Caryl — each with its own page. The complete Lakewood guide pulls it together.

At 1510 Kendall St, Lakewood, CO 80214 — inside Lakewood city limits, in Jefferson County, about a block off West Colfax.

Mostly the timing. Ken Caryl, our furthest stop, is about 14 road miles from the yard, and Morrison, Littleton and Columbine about 13. Price depends partly on the delivery location, and we say any difference up front.

No. Columbine is an unincorporated community, mostly in Jefferson County with a small part in Arapahoe County, and that is the area we serve. Columbine Valley is a separate incorporated town whose code makes the Town the sole agency for waste collection (§8.16.030), so it is not part of our service area.

Yes, through licences rather than franchises. Westminster's collector license names roll-off dumpsters outright (§5-7-8(C)), Edgewater licenses every refuse hauler (§6-8-20), and Denver issues its street dumpster permit only to a container company holding a ROW Dumpster License number. In Westminster, a dumpster of one cubic yard or larger at a one- or two-family home also needs written authorization from a code enforcement officer unless there is a valid building permit (§8-1-5). Each town page says what that code says.
